“Lincoln College was established in 1865 to fill the need for an institution of higher learning in central Illinois.” Today, it has two campuses, one in Lincoln, Illinois, and one in Normal, Illinois. It supports Associate and Bachelor Degree programs, both for traditional and non-traditional students. Lincoln College’s mission is to “uniquely empower students to realize their full potential” (Lincoln College).

The Lincoln College McKinstry Library, along with the Alumni Office and the Lincoln Heritage Museum, has a collection of Lincoln College yearbooks, which were digitized. This digital collection contains images from Lincoln College yearbooks for years ranging from 1927 to 2007. Not every year is represented. The most common names for the yearbooks are the Lynx or Lynxite, but some other names are Echoes, Imprints, Lincolnian, and The Emancipator. The yearbooks do not cover the entire span of time that the College has been open; Lincoln College was established in 1865 in Lincoln, Illinois, and has been open since then. Only Lincoln campus students are represented in this yearbook collection. These images might be of interest to researchers with an interest in Lincoln College, student demographics, clothing and hair styles, and extracurricular activities.
